Construction of the Type 1951 was delegated to the National Armor Foundry, which subcontracted the National Arms Foundry, [[Madrat Motor Design|Madrat Motors]], [[Ginearált Lionsag|General Lensing]], and [[Werthwr Stàilinobaer|Werthyr Steelworks]] for various components. | Construction of the Type 1951 was delegated to the National Armor Foundry, which subcontracted the National Arms Foundry, [[Madrat Motor Design|Madrat Motors]], [[Ginearált Lionsag|General Lensing]], and [[Werthwr Stàilinobaer|Werthyr Steelworks]] for various components. | ||

Several variants of the basic chassis exist, including the Type 1951/86, a which is equipped with an onboard computer, spall lining, and modern engine, optics, and track mechanics; the 1951I engineering vehicle; the 1951M, which has an ATGM mount instead of an autocannon; the 1951G, a self-propelled gun variant; and the 1951/86M, which is modernized with an ATGM launcher system. | Several variants of the basic chassis exist, including the Type 1951/86, a which is equipped with an onboard computer, spall lining, and modern engine, optics, and track mechanics; the 1951I engineering vehicle; the 1951M, which has an ATGM mount instead of an autocannon; the 1951G, a self-propelled gun variant; and the 1951/86M, which is modernized with an ATGM launcher system. The modernized variants feature a 7.62mm machine gun instead of an autocannon, while the engineering and SPG variants lack either. | ||

''Later variants of the Bataís became respected additions to the military's arsenal (in sharp contrast to the -2 Model), and in combat proved effective at their role as a dedicated transport and light support vehicle; still, the design was never meant to incorporate many of the systems later added, which made maintenance increasingly more complex.'' | ''Later variants of the Bataís became respected additions to the military's arsenal (in sharp contrast to the -2 Model), and in combat proved effective at their role as a dedicated transport and light support vehicle; still, the design was never meant to incorporate many of the systems later added, which made maintenance increasingly more complex.'' | ||
The Bataís was replaced in its role as an APC by the [[Capall 2002-1]] (eng. Horse/Steed) in 2004, but remains in service abroad and as a 'filler' transport vehicle for rear-line support staff. The Capall takes many of its design notes from the Bataís but is designed with the many later technological advances retrofitted into the 1962-2 in mind. | |||
